I have joined the Android club getting the LG Optimus S (one of the weaker Android phones). Got the phone free with the two year upgrade, but I have to pay 10$ more a month now. It was either that or get the Touch Pro 2 (WinMob 6.5 :() for 200$ and not pay 10$ more a month. I figure I'll just pay a little more.

Went ahead and rooted it and put a custom ROM on it (Reborn Rom). It's based off an LG Rom, so it's fully functional for the most part, just have to avoid any updates (which there haven't been any yet). With my unlimited data plan, I set up the wireless tether, but not sure how much I'll use that since wifi is everywhere and I have a fast home connection.

What APKs should I put on it? Went ahead and put all the banks, ebay, paypal, etc. Then I put this sweet APK called Aplanet which is basically like Installous on IOS. Got a QR Code reader as well.

Let me know if there's any other cool things I can do with the phone.

EDIT: I'll make a list of recommended apps in the thread:

[CENTER][b]Amazon App Market (free apps daily)

Amazon MP3 Store (stream music over cloud)

Angry Birds

Cardio Trainer

Google Goggles

Google Sky

Google Voice

HBOGO

Nesoid

Pandora

Plants VS. Zombies

Rockplayer

Shopsavvy

SlickDeals Feed

SNesoid

StumbleUpon

Yelp

Yfrog

Yoo Ninja[/b][/CENTER]

In addition to the amazon app store, the amazon mp3 store will allow you to steam music directly from your amazon cloud drive instead of taking space up on your phone.

Also just a note, Plants vs. Zombies is supposed to make it's debute on Android in the next few days, a Amazon exclusive and free the first day.

Others I like using are HBO Go, Cardio Trainer, StumbleUpon, Yelp and Google Voice as my message system.

The Amazon App market gives away decent paid apps for free daily.

Yeah, I installed the Amazon App market which could not be found on the droid market interestingly enough. There is a cool app I found which is basically an alert for the Amazon daily free app.

SNesoid, Nesoid, Angry birds, Google Goggles,

Not sure how well emulators will work without controls. I have a couple DS's and a PSP for that kind of stuff. Angry Birds has already been installed and I'll check out 'Google Goggles'.

Does anyone know if there's an app to easily send pictures to an image hosting site? I know picasa is built in so I can send my pics there but I'd rather send it to one of the more common imagehosting sites like imgurl or imageshack.

Photobucket has an app that is suposed to do that I downloaded it today and havent tried it as of yet so I cant make any claims as to how it works.

The daily app today on Amazon is really fun. 'Yoo Ninja', check it out.

Yeah I know, I've played my fair share of that today. It can be frustrating, but addicting. The Amazon App Store is a must, I've got my Incredible full of cool games. Still waiting on Plants vs. Zombies to come out...they originally said by the end of this month so only a few days left.

I'd also say add a barcode scanner to your list, I use ShopSavvy but there are a few on there.

      Philly's defense is great and they run the ball a lot and control the TOP (and they certainly will vs us - this is a big mismatch), so even if Bryce is at his best, I doubt he would have a chance to crack 300 passing yards.  Be damn impressive if he does though, but it all just depends on volume, efficiency, and most importantly... not turning the ball over.

      Even with Cam I don't think it would have been a hard sell. He always loomed larger than life, but most people that understand football understand the reality of the game. One wrong hit, one wrong step, and a career can be over. It's the thing I've been frustrated about most with every GM we've ever had, including Morgan to this point. We never really developed the QB room. We relied on our starters and when Jake and Cam fell apart, so did the franchise. That's the one position that you can't really afford not to develop a plan B, but we do it with regularity. Dalton wasn't supposed to be a serious threat to Bryce's job and Jack was never a threat to be anything at all. JMO, but we should always have a young guy we're trying to keep on the bench with at least 2 years in the system. If they're not getting it, move on, but always keep rotating guys through. It seems like 2-3 years really is the magic point for QBs to either get a handle or not. It's probably not going to happen, but I'd really like to see that 3rd QB emergency slot become a permanent place to work on developing young QBs. I think it could benefit every team in the league because it's so hard to carry 3 QBs on the roster with all the turn over during the season due to injuries.

      Agreed which is why I mentioned it and framed it as being certainly an eat crow moment for a lot of people myself included. I'd love to see him shock the league like that. I think the direction the conversation went immediately after is a prime example of how the topic of Bryce Young in general has become so bitter and contentious. The fanbase is split between people who want to see him look like a first overall pick over the course of multiple starts and not just against inferior defenses and people who apparently have low expectations and are just fine with him not looking horrific. But that's not how the NFL works and that's not why we drafted him.
